Belal Muhammad Steps in to Face Randy Brown at UFC 208 in Brooklyn

Promotion officials announced the change on Saturday. Sullivan was
notified of a potential anti-doping violation earlier this week and
was removed from UFC 208 as a result. The event takes place at the
Barclays Center in Brooklyn and is headlined by a bout between
Holly
Holm and Germaine
de Randamie for the inaugural women’s featherweight title.

A former Titan Fighting Championships welterweight titlist,
Muhammad has dropped two of his first three UFC bouts. The Chicago
native last appeared at UFC 205, where he suffered a first-round
knockout loss at the hands of Vicente
Luque.

Brown has won three of his four Octagon appearances and enters the
matchup on the strength of back-to-back triumphs against Brian
Camozzi and Erick
Montano.
